The Kingdom of Crookfur is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Cameron IV with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 44.929 billion Crookfurians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The minute government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Education, with Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kirkhill. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Crookfurian economy, worth an astonishing 10,191 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 226,841 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
The country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, Kirkhill has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas, and royal processions are often mistaken for pride parades. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Crookfur's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Crookfur is ranked 3,517th in the world and 130th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 200 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
